Just for the record (I'm not going to fight to the death for either position):

1) ProgSoc generally doesn't need a lot of money; and
2) Nobody has come up with a popular suggestion for how a huge amount more money could be spent; and
3) It seems like it could only be bad to be financially beholden to somebody with interests which don't necessarily completely align with ours, especially since we (per point 1) don't actually have to be, so
4) I'm not in favour of corporate sponsorship for ProgSoc.
